Is travel way of life?

Travelling has always been my passion, after I met with my husband, we discovered, we both love the idea of seeing many places as we can. Even when we had little money in our pockets, we still travelled around, but on a budget:) I remember our adventures in US, when we were in our early twenties, we travelled by car for 10 hours just to see Niagara Falls or Finger Lakes in upstate NewYork or Charleston in South Carolina. How can I forget cheapest flight by South West Airlines to El Paso, Texas, only $20!!!!.  When you are single or have no kids, sky is the limit! You do not have to have too much money! That's why I always admired backpackers, I wish I could have done something like that when I was young ( to be honest I am not that adventures' or brave, my being adventures' has limits!!!) So, whenever I see these young people around, it makes me take a deep breath, with a big smile on my face:)

I love everything about travelling, picking a spot, reading and searching all over the web, browsing on tripadvisor to get people's reviews, finding a hotel, getting the best price from expedia:) what to pack, what to see, restaurants, and most importantly to be able to talk to locals. Travelling is all about encounters, with new faces and their cultures. Most importantly, with yourself. With each travel opportunity, you get to learn and grow from the experiences. Learning is lifetime, about the world, differences, humanity, and yes about myself...

Having kids did not stop us much, it became expensive though:) When we were expecting our son, Onur, we travelled to Phuket Island, I still remember how uncomfortable it was travelling 6 months pregnant!!!! He was only 3 months old, when we went to Berlin, and neither breastfeeding or carrying him in Baby Bjorn ( by the way he was a big baby!!!) did not stop me!!  While my husband was in the meetings, I was putting my than 4 year old daughter in a stroller and walking from museum to museum, at the same time trying to figuring out metro railway!! Bad news is,  now Onur is over 3 yr old, we do not fit into one room! We have to stay in suites, isn't that something!!!!!

I think, love for travelling and living in different countries go hand in hand. Probably, because of that, changing houses, cities or even countries never seem too far from me. I still love the idea to live in another country, but probably because of having two children and ageing (yes I except, numbers are just keep increasing!!!), I do have limits and standards now. 

Bon Voyage:)
